Abstract
In recent years, Cuba has increased the use of plant tubes in nurseries, but these require fertilizers that raise production costs if not combined with efficient substrates. However, there is no relevant information on the effect of different substrates combined with fertilizers on seedling production in tubes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of soil and rice husk combined with Multicote™ for the production of Coffea arabica L. seedlings in 180 cm³ tubes. A randomized experimental design with a factorial scheme (5x5x1) of 26 treatments was used. The studied proportions of soil and rice husk were 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% for each, combined with five doses of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 g of Multicote™. The dependent variables were: plant height, stem diameter, number of leaf pairs, leaf area, and total dry mass. Significant morphological values of the seedlings were achieved with the treatment of 50% husk + 50% soil + 2 g of Multicote™; increasing the dose of Multicote™ in this same soil-husk combination did not show statistically superior morphological values. It is concluded that the combined use of 50% soil and rice husk can be used as a substrate in tubes for seedling production. In this combination, it is not necessary to use doses greater than 2 g of Multicote™, which reduces production costs.
